S A N J O A U I Environmental Health Department <br /> 0UNTY <br /> Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report <br /> Facility Name: Facility Address: Date: <br /> F-FD ORCHARDS 21360 E WALNUT DR LINDEN September 01 2020 <br /> SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS <br /> (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply) <br /> Item# Remarks <br /> 608 CCR 66266.130 Failed to properly manage used oil and fuel filters. <br /> OBSERVATION: One 55-gallon black metal container(observed in the accumulation area- located adjacent to the <br /> above ground fuel tanks) labeled"drained used oil and gasoline filters"was out of compliance with the storage rules. <br /> The latching mechanism on the lid was not latched and the container was lacking an accumulation start date. The last <br /> oil filter pick up (according to the onsite waste disposal documents)was on 8/17/2018. The container lid was latched, <br /> as appropriate, at the time of inspection. <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE: <br /> (b) "used oil filters" are defined as filters which contain a residue of used oil and which are exempt from regulation as <br /> a hazardous waste under the scrap metal provision found in federal law. <br /> (c) Used oil filters that meet the conditions of subsection (b) of this section and are managed and recycled in <br /> compliance with the following requirements shall not be regulated as hazardous waste. <br /> (1)The filters are drained of free-flowing used oil. For the purposes of this subsection, free-flowing is defined as a <br /> continuous stream of oil exiting the filter when the filter is inverted. Oil exiting drop by drop is not considered to be <br /> free-flowing. However, if the filter is equipped with a device(such as a rubber flap located just inside the filter opening) <br /> which impedes the drainage of used oil from the filter, that device shall be manipulated to allow the oil to exit the filter <br /> freely, or the filter punctured, crushed, opened, drained, or otherwise handled in a manner that will allow the used oil to <br /> exit the filter. <br /> (2)The drained used oil filters are transported for purposes of metal reclamation to any of the following: <br /> (A)A smelter or other scrap metal processor where they are recycled or; <br /> (B)A storage facility or consolidation facility that subsequently transfers the filters to a facility described in paragraph <br /> (A)or(C)of this subsection or; <br /> (C)A municipal solid waste incinerator for energy recovery, if the residual casings are subsequently transferred to a <br /> facility described in paragraph(A)of this subsection, or to a storage or consolidation facility that subsequently <br /> transfers the residual casings to a facility described in paragraph(A)of this subsection. <br /> (3)The drained used oil filters are accumulated, stored, and transferred in a closed, rainproof container that is capable <br /> of containing any used oil that may separate from the filters placed inside. Drums of used oil filters shall be sealed <br /> during transfer so that used oil will not spill out when they are laid upon their sides. Drums shall be secured as a load <br /> to prevent movement or tipping during transfer. Containers shall be labelled as"drained used oil filters" (not as <br /> hazardous waste)and show initial date of accumulation or receipt on each container of filters. <br /> (4)Storage of less than one ton of used oil filters shall be limited to one year. Storage of one ton or more of used oil <br /> filters is limited to 180 days. <br /> (5) Persons generating, transporting, or receiving used oil filters shall use a bill of lading to record the transfer of used <br /> oil filters. Bills of lading must indicate generator, transporter, and receiving company names, addresses, telephone <br /> numbers, the quantity and size of used oil filter containers transferred, and the date of transfer. A copy of each bill of <br /> lading must be kept on the premises of the generator, transporter, and receiving facility where the used oil filters were <br /> handled. Copies of bills of lading shall be kept for a period of three years. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Be sure to drain all metal filters of free-flowing liquid, store them in closed, rainproof <br /> containers, label the container with the words"drained used oil and gasoline filters," (as appropriate)and mark the <br /> container with an accumulation start date. Dispose of all accumulated filters stored on-site greater than one year. <br /> Used filters not stored, handled and disposed of according to this section are regulated as hazardous waste. Provide <br /> a corrective action statement, disposal records and supporting documentation to the San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department (EHD)within 30 days. <br /> FA0005157 PRO537710 SCO01 09/01/2020 <br /> EHD 22-01 Rev.8/11/2020 Page 8 of 9 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR <br /> 1868 E.
